| | | | | Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Jiangxi - History Jiangxi is centred on the Gan River valley, which provides the main north-south transport route of China.

| | | | | Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Jiangsu - History The province of Jiangsu was formed in the 17th century. Before then, the northern and southern parts of Jiangsu had little to do with each other.

North Jiangsu, on the other hand, is at the juncture between North China and South China. Culturally it is of North China, but it has influences from South China, and is indeed still a part of a p ...

| | | | | Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Buddhist cuisine - Three types of restrictions Reincarnation is one basic tenet of Buddhism, and this includes rebirth of humans as other animals, and vice-versa. As a result, many Buddhists do not kill animals and many also do not eat meat. Other common reasons cited are that killing animals and/or eating their meat are a violation of the Five Precepts, bad for one's own karma, and because of a compassion for other animals. Many vegetarian Buddhists are not vegan, but for those who are vegan, such beliefs are often due to objections about the circumstances in which ...

He also reduced the roles that Wang Dun's relatives, including Wang Dao, had in his government, which angered Wang Dun further.

| | | | | Anhui: Encyclopedia II - Beijing opera - Four main roles The three roles other than the second role represent male characters.
There is an explanation about why the roles take the names above. It is said that they were chosen to have opposite meanings. Sheng in Chinese may mean "strange" or "rare", but the chief male role is a well known character. Dan, which means "morning" or "masculine", is contrary to the feminine nature of the characters. Jing means "clean", but in fact the paintings on their faces make the characters look unclean but colorful. And Chou in C ...
